This fibre optic transceiver from Belden's Hirschmann range is a two-way translator that converts electrical signals into data that a computer can understand. It's a handy interpreter to have on hand as it includes a transmitter and a receiver, each with its own circuitry, so it can handle transmissions in both directions. To keep the risk of electrical interference low, the device emits minimal electrostatic discharge. It's a solid choice for harsh industrial environments, thanks to its resistance to vibration and shock.
